1) That's not sufficient to throw something out of canon. Neither Patty Lowell or Morrison appear in games, yet the anime in which they appear is also considered canon. Characters in DMC1, 3, and 4 are not mentioned in 2, either, and these are all still canon.

2) Yes, you can. That's your opinion.

4) Where does it say one has to be a demon to do demonic experiments? There is no reason he can't be a human performing demonic experiments before killing his wife. Where does it say he's already a demon? In the DMC3 game transcript, all it says is that he killed his wife to sacrifice his humanity and become a demon, not that he killed his wife in order to perform demonic rituals. 7) It's yours, too.

8) Who? That name does not appear at all in my version.

9) See #1

10) Give me surrounding quotes, describe the events where this happens. I cannot find him. I see a strange shaped shadow behind him in one frame, just before Lady finds Alice, but that's it. Ever hear of foreshadowing?

11) No, he doesn't. You're not even giving examples because there are none.

13) Right, because they already undid the seals before the events of the game. You don't need to unlock a door twice.

Maybe you are reading a bad translation?
